GM recalls SUVs for inaccurate fuel gauges

The General Motors recalls just don't seem to end.

The auto manufacturer said Saturday it is recalling 51,640 SUVs because of possible inaccurate readings of their fuel gauges.

The recall involves 2014 models of Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia. GM(GM) said a software problem could lead to a faulty reading on both the high and low end of the range by as much as one quarter of a tank.

If a customer runs out of fuel without any warning from the fuel gauge, it will cause the vehicle to stall and increase the risk of a crash, the company said.

GM said dealers will reprogram the software for free, starting immediately.

GM has especially come under fire for its recall of 1.6 million vehicles worldwide for an ignition switch problem. GM engineers knew at least as early as 2004 of the problem, but the company did not recall the vehicles until February of this year.

How will GM handle brewing lawsuits?

At least 12 deaths have been linked to the ignition switch issue. The number of vehicles covered by the recall has also doubled since it was originally announced.

The company's CEO Mary Barra has apologized and has also testified before Congress.
